It is important to the secondary school that all students feel supported, and it focuses on recognising individual talents and achievements. The Newton Stewart secondary school nurtures positive behaviour and teamwork, wanting to maintain a good, strong partnership between staff, parents and students. The school fosters strong relationships between peers and wants to ensure that respect and tolerance are shown towards individuals, regardless of their differences or beliefs. A wide range of extra-curricular activities are organised for students across the year groups to get involved in and extend their learning experience beyond the classroom, meet new friends and discover new talents and interests.
